Twitter content that aligns with your marketing goals helps you connect with the right audience at the right time. It starts with having a Twitter content strategy in place that breaks down your content by business objectives. Where are your buyers in the funnel — and what information are they looking for?

Whether you’re helping customers discover your brand or consider who to buy from, driving a purchase or nurturing a relationship, Twitter can deliver the insights needed at any stage of the buyer’s journey. Here’s a closer look at how to create Twitter content that resonates with buyers from the first moment they encounter your brand until they’re long-term fans and customers.

Build brand or product awareness

Twitter can help you raise awareness of your brand, product, or service. From tapping into the buzz around an event to creating content that speaks to your target segments when they’re searching for their interests, here are some ideas for early-stage Tweets.

Identify your customer segments. The right Tweets can help you connect with any audience, from dads to fitness buffs, to animal lovers to Marvel comic book fans.

Connect to events. From national holidays to #NationalPuppyDay, events provide a great hook for content. Just be sure that it resonates with your audience and feels organic.

Choose a level. Create content that focuses on the brand level, as well as additional content that highlights specific products and services. When buyers are searching early on for information, being specific helps you reach them.

Help buyers consider their options

This content targets individuals who are considering their options around a specific product or service. How can your content show your unique selling proposition (USP)?

Highlight features that make you different. Show why you’re a better choice than the competition.

Share a surprising fact at the right time. Like a credit card company offering no-interest cards for new college students during Back-to-School.

Highlight a feeling that your customers can relate to. Let your unique brand personality shine through in Tweets that connect with how your customers might be feeling.

Drive a purchase

The right Tweets can help you drive a conversion, whether you’re encouraging people to buy products, pre-order a product, or attend an event.

Offer deals. Whether you’re having a sale or running a special promotion, don’t forget to develop Tweets to support your offers.

Calls-to-action and reminders. Reminders can be a great call-to-action that drives a purchase. Let people know early and often when you're attending an upcoming event, launching a new product, or hosting a can’t-miss webinar.
